okay okay, hear me out

qimir's scar is twisted and jagged. he was abandoned (""abandoned"" could mean anything right now) by his master.

vernestra has a light whip. she believes strongly in the jedi, the jedi code and the order and what they stand for, how the republic views them. maybe enough to become desperate, to make a mistake

vernestra was qimir's master ???

edit: qimir would likely have been driven by intense emotions and vernestra would likely have cautioned him against that, tried to reign him in like obi wan did with anakin and. well, we all know how that ended

I wish you would write a fic about irreconcilable artistic differences on a movie set between Joe and Nicky.

not really irreconciliable as in not solvable at all but you know i had fun with this

Joe squeezes his eyes shut, covering his face with both hands, and leans forward. His shoulders tremble uncontrollably. He takes a short, sharp breath, and another, and another, but he can’t quite seem to get enough into his lungs. There’s a lump in his throat and a weight in his stomach. He leans forward with a low, wounded sound and–

“Cut,” Nicky says softly. Then, because it takes Joe a second to hear him: “Joe, stop.”

Slowly, Joe raises his head. Wipes at his eyes and takes a few deep breaths to steady himself. Nicky’s already up, frowning ever so slightly as he looks at the camera. 

“What is it this time?” Joe manages. His voice is hoarse; he has to clear his throat once or twice. Nicky doesn’t look up. The clock on the nightstand reads 01.34, but Nicky’s changed it a few times over the course of the shoot. He has no clue what time it really is, only that it’s dark outside.

It’s just the two of them in the room. Nicky had wanted to keep this one small, just him and Joe and the camera. The apartment they’re in is nice, if a little empty, though Joe supposes that’s the point. They’re in the bedroom, Joe sitting cross-legged on the bed, shirtless, sheets bunched up over his lap, a phone lying on the nightstand behind him. One entire wall of the room is taken up by a floor-to-ceiling window which lets the moonlight in, though there’s a few low lights set up behind Nicky to send bars of silver light across the bed, because the natural light hadn’t quite been strong enough for the effect Nicky wanted. It’s otherworldly; it’s beautiful. 

Nicky still isn’t looking at him, so Joe says again, “What?” It comes out a little harsher than he means it to, but it gets Nicky’s attention.

Nicky runs one hand through his hair. Joe can’t see him well, not with the light behind him and the shadows in the room. “I don’t know,” Nicky says. “It’s missing something.”

Joe has worked with Nicky enough times before. It’s not that he doesn’t like working with him - they’re friends - but he can’t fucking read him, and so after the sixth take of the same scene he can’t help but take it a little personally. 

Joe reaches for the bottle of water hidden just under the bed and takes a long drink, mostly to keep himself from snapping. What time is it? “I can try again, but I can’t do this indefinitely, Nicky.”

“I know, I know,” Nicky says, fidgeting again with the camera, “it’s not you, it’s just–” 

“What else could it be?” Joe interrupts. He’s not stupid. This scene doesn’t work if he can’t get it right, which means the entire film doesn’t work if he can’t get it right. More than anything else, this one depends on him. No music, no camera movement, no dialogue, nothing but him and the camera. And he wants to do it right, he loves this project almost as much as Nicky does, but there’s a hollow feeling in his chest and he’s spent the last however-many-hours having a near-complete breakdown over and over again and it’s still not right. And Joe doesn’t know what it is he’s doing wrong.

“I don’t know,” Nicky says quietly. Now he is looking at Joe, and Joe can’t tell if he’s disappointed, or angry, or – or what. He’s perfectly expressionless, as always. 

Joe loves this job. And he wants to get this right. But it doesn’t mean it’s not one of the hardest things he’s ever had to do, and he’s tired.

“I don’t have much more left in me, Nicky,” he says, and this time he does snap. He wipes at his eyes again, can’t look at Nicky. He’s supposed to be making himself vulnerable, above all in this scene, but suddenly he can’t stand the way Nicky’s looking at him. “Pass me my hoodie.”

“Joe–”

“I can’t. I can’t keep doing this.” He kicks the sheets off and gets tangled trying to do it, grabs his hoodie when Nicky offers it, pulls it over his head in one fluid motion and gets out of there as soon as he can. Thankfully, there’s only Andy and Nile in the other room, Andy lying back on the couch with her feet up and Nile perched on the arm of it. They both look up at Joe as he enters, both look like they’re about to ask, and Joe can’t stand it, can’t be in here a second longer, can’t–

“We are done for the day, I think,” Nicky says behind him, startling Joe. He hadn’t realised Nicky was there.

Andy raises an eyebrow, but doesn’t argue. It’s already the second day of trying to shoot this scene: they’re running the risk of falling behind schedule. 

“We’ll find something else to do tomorrow,” Nicky says. “I’ll look over everything tonight. We will try this again on Monday.”

Andy and Nile look at each other. Nile shrugs. 

“Get some rest, Joe,” Nicky says. 

Joe shoves his hands in his pockets and doesn’t say a word.

–--------------------------------

He doesn’t get called in the next day at all, and he doesn’t interrogate it too closely. Takes the day off, pretty much, because they’ve only really got one scene left to film, and there’s not much more he can do for that. Nicky had wanted to leave it to the last, and Joe had agreed, at the time.

At about nine pm, someone knocks on his hotel room door, which is unusual on a day where they don’t have a night shoot to do. When he opens it, Nicky is on the other side. Joe lets him in without a word. 

“I wanted to apologise,” Nicky says, standing in the middle of the room and looking as uncomfortable as Joe’s ever seen him. “For last night. I was pushing you too hard, and I should not have done.”

Joe closes the door behind him. Nicky fidgets with the sleeve of his hoodie. 

“Sit down,” Joe says. 

Nicky does, settling himself on the edge of Joe’s bed, not quite looking him in the eye. Joe joins him, after a moment. 

“At the risk of sounding cliche,” Nicky says, “it’s not you, it’s me.”

Joe laughs, mostly because the phrase sounds so strange coming from Nicky and also because out of everything he’d thought Nicky might say, he hadn’t expected that. 

Nicky smiles slightly, too. Then he gets up and heads for the minibar. “Mind if I have a drink?”

Joe shakes his head. Nicky gets out a little bottle of wine, glances at the label, and takes a swig straight from the bottle without bothering to get a glass. 

“I can’t seem to get it right,” Nicky says. “You know I wrote almost fifteen different versions of that scene?”

The scene in the script itself is barely a page long. “No,” Joe says. 

Nicky nods. Rubs a hand over his face. “I wanted it to feel real. I thought if I could get it right, it would… help, somehow. I don’t know.”

It’s the exact same reason Joe said yes before he even read the script, when the whole thing was just an idea in Nicky’s head, when they were talking about it over drinks at Andy’s and Joe was in love with the idea almost immediately. He knew exactly why Nicky was writing it; he knows, now, exactly why it needs to be right. But at the same time – “I don’t know if that’s possible, Nicky.”

Nicky sighs. “I know.” He crosses back over to sit beside Joe again, takes another drink from the bottle. “But there is something missing, and I cannot seem to find it. And so it does not feel real. And I know this is not easy for you.”

“It’s not,” Joe says plainly. 

“But you know,” Nicky continues, “I could not have trusted anyone with this but you. If you had not said yes, I would not have done this.”

That, Joe didn’t know: he knows he’d been Nicky’s first choice, but he’d assumed that’s because they know each other well enough already. But it makes sense: the reason Nicky wrote the script is the same thing they’d bonded over. 

Even still, it’s a lot. “I don’t know if I can do it the way you want,” Joe says. 

Nicky looks up at him from where he’s been running his fingers over the label on the bottle absentmindedly. “If you want to stop, I can–”

“No,” Joe says quickly. “But I don’t think it’s ever going to be exactly the way you felt.”

Nicky looks away. “It is a lot to ask,” he says. “I know this.”

Joe doesn’t think; just reaches over and takes Nicky’s hand. “I know,” he says. “Trust me.”

Nicky takes a deep breath. Then he nods. "Okay."

Which colour of jewelry would suit them best - twst characters

Heartslabyul Riddle Rosehearts - Both gold and silver would fit him BUT gold would look slightly better on him Trey Clover - gold (silver washes him out so badly its not funny) Cater Diamond - unironically he looks better in silver but always wears gold Ace Trappola - he is aware he looks better in silver how? his brother likes wearing rings Deuce Spade - another silver guy im sorry i cannot imagine him in gold Savanaclaw

Leona Kingscholar - gold. whenever he wears silver jewelry cannot even see it Jack Howl - silver guy which is funny cause I thought he was a really weird werewolf at first Ruggie Bucchi - my guy looks best in gold but all he has is silver Octavinelle Azul Ashengrotto - it's obviously silver Floyd Leech - tbh im conflicted between tweels cause I feel like they both have faces for silver but Floyd wears gold Jade Leech - always wears silver you will never catch his wearing any jewerly that Floyd owns Scarabia Jamil Viper - he wears gold but looks good in silver just never wears it Kalim Al-Asim - has never wore silver jewelry Pomefiore Vil Schoenheit - he wears both types but looks slightly better in gold Epel Felmier - Whenever he wears golden jewerly it lowkey looks like he's sick Rook Hunt - gold guy only Ignihyde 

Idia Shroud - somehow gold makes him look even more dead (it doesn't bring his eyes at all they are already fuck ass radioactive yellow why the fuck would u give him golden jewerly to bring his eyes more trust me we can see them) Ortho Shroud - same as Idia tho he did try to wear golden jewerly to get that experience Diasmonia Malleus Draconia - unsuprisingly he is a silver guy Lillia Vanrouge - he exclusively wear gold purely because it makes him look kinda weird and to subtly fuck with people Silver - He looks ethereal whether he wears gold or silver it truly doesn't matter Sebek Zigvolt - gold he is pure gold guy trust me he would look great with gold earrings and such Night Raven College Staff Dire Crowley - I think this is canon based on his design that he wears gold and looks good in gold Divus Crewel - wears silver to keep his black nd white theme looks better in gold lol Mozus Trein - gold man same with Lucius he's also gold guy Ashton Vargas - pure gold nothing else Sam - I think he has gold earrings in his design but in my mind he wears silver idc Extras that don't fit in any categories but I wanted to include them anyway Dawn Knight - he has the same sytuation as Silver where both type of jewerly fits him regardles wears only silver (lol) Henrick Istovan - same sytuation as Dawn knight but wears only gold (yes even during war) Maleanor Draconia - canonically has in her design shit ton of silver stuff so what can I say other than silver? Baur Zigvolt - those gold genes are strong Dylla Spade - silver self explanatory Cheka - his design has so much warm colours putting him in any sort of silver jewerly would be a crime Che'nya - that fucked up gold that looks like silver but is gold but is silver (he looks decent with both so he just decided to take the middle colour) Neige LeBlanche - very clearly gold looks way better on him but silver doesn't wash him out Najma Viper - I feel like she would have a short lived phase where she try to make silver work with her for few months but eventually accepted her fate as only gold person Rollo Flamme - I feel like he would never wear jewerly but silvers looks good on him Ernesto Foulworth/Fellow Honest - gold just gold Gidel - suprsingly silver tho he looks decent in gold Skully - if that guy ever wears gold hell will break on twisted wonderland land and everyone will die.

I'm fascinated by the fact that the Burrow's End fam are cultists

like they walked into stoat bastion and immediately clocked the leaders as Evil and Fascist based solely on (*checks notes*) the fact that they were the authority figures. and they dedicated themselves to overthrowing the First Stoats, and murdered them, and immediately set about claiming authority over the bastion using their skills as literal cult leaders

it's haha funny but also remember how Thorn and Viola literally run a cult?? it's not a mercenary group or a small princedom it's a cult. it's called that in and out of character. Thorn is a charismatic cult leader with mystical powers. they murdered the First Stoats and Viola immediately put the pope hat on and it was haha funny but also she did it because she wants the bastion to be their new cult

it's buckwild

Tula said this episode to Bennet 'anyone who strives for power is suspicious' and her sister was RIGHT there. Tula actively assisted in Viola's desire to infiltrate Population Support to turn it into Population Control. it's haha funny but you did that in character. oh are the First Stoats keeping information secret and trying to nudge their population into war with the humans?? what was Thorn doing. what is Ava doing, actually. once you put that stoat pope hat on what are you going to do that's different from what stoat pope did??

there's a world in which Aabria leaned more into the family's own fascism, pitting the reality of their actions and mentality up against the First Stoats. it feels like she wanted to but didn't because she wanted to preserve the cooperative vibe of the season but I am absolutely on her side in this adventuring party: at the first sign of opposition the family jumps to lethal solutions and bids for power. Lila and Jaysohn are children and their instinct was to establish themselves as supreme powers within their age group. again, haha funny, kids being kids, but their favorite auntie and uncle are cult leaders. Thorn's talked about giving them places of power in his cult. I can't get over it

like I can't get over this lmao!! the players kept trying to contradict Aabria and say no no, the First Stoats are evil, clearly we had to kill them—and yes, this is how the game works, and the crew made all these complicated battlemaps so yes you did have to use them. but you didn't have to be cultists!! you didn't have to be so clearly trying to take the First Stoats' places for yourselves! like Aabria said you could have talked!! so many times!!

[lab-gr0wn-lambs]

I can't think of a cool caption for this

so here's one of the songs I listened to while working on this

[viscasi]

[alien-girl-21]

it was because of your Clancy blogging that two songs ended up in my top 5 this year btw!!! I used to dislike 21 pilots because I had only heard car radio (which I don't hate anymore but still really isn't my thing) and thought all their stuff was gonna be like that

but I looove the new album so I am coming to you for recs on older (or unreleased) songs that have a similar vibe to Midwest indigo, next semester, and oldies station specifically 🫶

feel free to take time answering or also suggest other artists if you immediately think of ones that are similar to those!!

i'm so glad i got you to give them a chance!! obviously biased because they are my favorite band in the world, but they have such good music!!

tbh clancy for me is a very new sound from them, so a lot of their older stuff is more sad boy ukulele rap or whatever tyler said in an interview once, but the vibes are there!!

some of my recommendations for their older/unreleased stuff:

Oh Ms Believer

Ode to Sleep

Slowtown

Anathema

Truce

Kitchen Sink

Polarize

and here are some of their live recordings/alternate mixes/songs from their livestream/movie, where they experiment a lot more with their sound!

Lane Boy (feat. MUTEMATH)

The Hype - Berlin

Lane Boy / Redecorate / Chlorine - Livestream Version (it's one hell of a ride, but there has to be something you like from this)

Choker / Stressed Out / Migrane / Morph / Holding On To You - Livestream Version (same as the last one)

Tear in My Heart - MTV Unplugged Live

Shy Away - MTV Unplugged Live

Message Man (Live from Mexico) (mainly because the live band killed it with this one in the lead up to the bridge)

and because i'm having too much fun with these, have some artists!

Blink-182 (only brave statements on the alien-girl-21 tumblr blog) (mainly because josh's drumming style was influenced a lot by mark hoppus since he became friends with him)

Joost (only brave statements AGAIN!), but i'd recommend 2002/2001, i think it fits the vibe of midwest indigo/next semester imo

I'll Make You Miss Me All The TIme - Dylan Brady (for the more rock sounds)
